In Austin this week for some THWACKcamp filming. There's a lot of reasons to enjoy Austin, even in August, but being able to sit and talk with my fellow Head Geeks is by far the best reason. Here's a bunch of links from the intertubz you might find interesting. Enjoy! App sizes are out of control I've been frustrated about…
Back from the beach and back in the saddle again. It was good to get away from the world for a week and sit by the lake or at the beach and just listen to the sound of the water. But, it's also good to get back to the keyboard, too. As always, here are some links from the Intertubz that I hope will hold your interest.…
This version of the Actuator comes from the beaches of Rhode Island where the biggest security threat we face are sea gulls trying to steal our bacon snacks. As always, here are some links from the Intertubz that I hope will hold your interest. Enjoy! Someone's phishing US nuke power stations “We don’t want you to panic,…
Happy Birthday, America! I don’t care what people say, you don’t look a day over 220 years old to me. To honor you, we celebrated your birth in the same way we have for centuries: with explosives made in China. (I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth.) As always, here are some links from the Intertubz that I hope will…
I'm in Vancouver, BC this week, and jet lag has given me some extra hours to get this edition of the Actuator done. Maybe while I am here I can ask Canadians how they feel about Amazon taking over the world. My guess is they won't care as long as hockey still exists, and they can get equipment with Prime delivery. As…
Hope everyone enjoyed Father's Day this past weekend, and that your day was filled with good food and good times with family. This week's Actuator is timed with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. But as any SysAdmin knows, the longest day of the year is any day you are working with XML. As always, here are…
Home again after a trip to Austin where I was filming sessions for THWACKcamp 2017. Excited yet? You should be because you can register now by going here. It happens in October, and although it's four months away, it feels like it will be here in a week. I can't wait for you to see all the buttery goodness we have in store…
Data security and privacy links take center stage this week. I didn't intend for that to happen, it just did. I'm guessing we are going to see an uptick in incidents being reported, which is different than saying there is an uptick in incidents as a whole. I believe people are more cognizant of data security and privacy…
Home from Techorama in Belgium and back in the saddle for a short week before I head to Austin on Monday morning. I do enjoy visiting Europe, and Belgium in particular. Life just seems to move at a slower pace there. As always, here are some links from the Intertubz that I hope will hold your interest. Enjoy! The big asks…
I made it to Antwerp and Techorama this week. I am delivering two sessions and looking forward to my first ever presentation on a movie theater screen. I am now wishing I had embedded movie clips into my slides, just for fun. As always, here are some links from the Intertubz that I hope will hold your interest. Enjoy! CS4G…
